dante3000 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 The distance is really something I noticed the first day. After that it became fairly routine. I was at the Holiday Inn and had no issue walking to any of the shows. It was a bit of a pain lugging it to 1982 if there was a band there I wanted to see right after a band at Common Grounds or the Atlantic but it wasn't awful. Of course, Saturday night I was drunk jogging from the Holiday Inn to Common Grounds to give my buddy his keys. Made it in like under 5 minutes. The key is that the map No Idea gives you is NOT TO SCALE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xjustinxschwierx Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 yeah...the walks are no big deal, I didn't go to the acoustic show which was way the fuck out of the way, but for the most part the venues are pretty localized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flood Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 most of the shows are 21+ right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest genericinsight Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 There's a bike shop on University Ave across the street from The Venue. If the walks bother you that much, I suggest renting a bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante3000 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 most of the shows are 21+ right? I think only one venue isn't 21+, so basically. It's crazy to see 21+ venues so packed and ruckus. It never happens out west. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest genericinsight Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I'm checking.... hotelguides.us says No dates available for the Holiday Inn. Fuck, its sold out already? Goddamn. I'm going to call and make sure but goddamn... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to call and make sure but goddamn... From my understanding the Hotel is all used by The Fest this year. Last year hotel reservations went up with ticket sales. You bought them both from No Idea and at a lower prices than from the Holiday Inn (I made a side reservation just to be sure). So it might be that they're doing no reservations other than through No Idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

destroyingthescene Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Fuck, if only I didn't live on the other side of the continent! Why is that stopping you? I met a few people that flew in from England for last year's Fest! Okay, I wish I had the money to afford the trip, or the time available to take off work to go. Next year is a strong possibility though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While i'm not completely straigt edge or antyhing i don't drink that much in general. and as of a month ago, i'm offically a non-smoker..hopefully it keeps going. i finally decided to quit since my alergies, plus my insomnia, my body's immune system is pretty low and the smoking wasn't working. so i decided to quit...

All the shenanigans that went down last year were their fault, and so when we went back to talk to them about it they were just like "yeah, we fucked up, you guys are cool, let's do it all over again and do it right this year." So yeah, it's on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
